Cinema and theatre

For the last decade, the Platino Awards take the pulse of the Ibero-American film industry. And that beat reverberates with increasing force around the world thanks to their excellent films and series.

You don’t find filmmakers like Carla Simón, with a sincere, humble and honest gaze, every day. With just two films, 'Summer 1993' and 'Alcarràs', which aspires to three Platino Awards, this Catalan filmmaker has turned into a role model for Spanish film.

As president of the Academia de las Artes Escénicas, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo has promoted the Talía Awards, prizes that seek to recognise the work of a sector that she learned to admire as a child.

The name of dancer Sergio Bernal reverberates around the world of dance. For this reason, the first edition of the Talía Awards has decided to grant him the Emerging Talent Award.

The Talía Award for Young Talent goes to... María Hervás! This actress from Madrid has embodied some of the most acclaimed female characters in Spanish theatre in recent times.

From San Sebastián to Málaga, several Spanish cities have their own film festivals. One of them, in fact, is on par with the most important in the world. Do you know which one we’re talking about?
